If you live in Vancouver, now is a helpful time to donate blood since there will be a need.

Yeah, our Elections Canada is quite solid.

The influencing of support for our right-wing party endorsed by Elon Musk/Trump/Jordan Peterson via X, Facebook, and campaign financing is the real issue imo.

Suggesting that invading and annexing a country is an "enticing offer" if they're given voting rights instead of becoming an enslaved resource colony is a hell of a take... "But it'll be good because the USA will benefit!"

Stop sanewashing a horrific invasion with selfish American-centric reasons. I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible but this is one of the reasons the world despises the USA right now.

I see these types of comments constantly and it blows my mind that some Americans think this is reasonable and not a deeply offensive and ignorant thing to say.

So many of us have friends and family across the border. We know American people are fellow humans like anyone else and that the enemy is MAGA fascism.

Any American I see traveling in Canada without a MAGA hat will be welcomed by me with open arms. Canadians have a degree of empathy for what you're dealing with because we feel threatened by the fascist takeover too.

Canadians and Americans who give a damn about respecting peoples' dignity, no matter their gender or race, will stand in solidarity.

The important point here is side streets in addition to arterials. Many routes through the city are inaccessible via only side streets, and many destinations exist along arterials. His attempt to remove arterial bike routes would make many trips impossible or take significantly longer.

Vote anyways. It's so easy and if that's all we can do to participate then it'd be idiotic not to do the bare minimum.

It is often through neighbourboods or at times of day ourside of rush hour. Even bloor west is car traffic free most of the day.

I wasn't aware of many of those, thanks for sharing. Those are hateful, deeply bigoted policies.

Those were like firecrackers compared to what we have today. And to be clear, it was absolutely grotesque and caused cancer for generations.

Can you please share a source on this? It sounds on-brand for the Heritage foundation and I'd like to learn more.

His right-wing populism and PR dollars are extremely good at getting him re-elected. Ontarians continue to fall for it and blame all of his failures on Trudeau while forgiving his scandals and blatant corruption.
